These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which we operate, perceived opportunities in the market and statements regarding our mission and vision. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions, or the negatives of such terms, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith on the basis of management’s views and assumptions as of the time the statements are made, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs or projections will result or be achieved or accomplished.

In addition to other factors and matters discussed elsewhere herein, the following are important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements: technological advances, impact of competition, dependence on key personnel and the need to attract new management, effectiveness of cost and marketing efforts, acceptances of products, ability to expand markets and the availability of capital or other funding on terms satisfactory to us. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.

For a discussion of the risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could affect our future events, developments or results, you should carefully review the “Risk Factors” set forth under “Item 1. Description of Business” below. Considering these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events, developments or results described by our forward-looking statements herein could turn to be materially different from those we discuss or imply.

PART I

Item 1. Description of Business.

Organization

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware as a for-profit company on March 2, 2015 and established a fiscal year end of December 31. On March 4, 2015, we filed a Certificate of Correction to the Certificate of Incorporation to correct our name to Hubilu Venture Corporation from Hubilu Venture Corp. On March 5, 2015, our incorporator adopted our bylaws and appointed our sole director. We were formed to provide consulting and advisory services to real estate professionals and investors to assist them in finding properties and evaluating them for purchase or leasing. We are not a real estate brokerage firm and do not engage in real estate brokerage activities.

Our services are focused on the research and analysis of real estate properties and advising clients on the best use of their real estate assets. On August 18, 2016 we established a real estate acquisitions’ division seeking to raise money and acquire real estate assets.

On March 5, 2015, we issued 25,000,000 shares of our common stock, valued at $0.001 per share, to our founder, David Behrend for $75,000 in cash or $0.003 per share. On April 30, 2015, Mr. Behrend transferred his shares to Jacaranda Investments, Inc., a Wyoming corporation he previously owned, but sold on June 24, 2022, in exchange for 30,000 shares of Jacaranda’s common shares. From April 7, 2015 to May 7, 2015, we sold and issued 235,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.10 per share for $23,500 to 40 accredited investors. On May 4, 2015, we issued 191,500 shares of our common stock, valued by our sole director at $0.10 per share, or $19,150, to 12 individuals for services rendered to us. Six of these individuals had already purchased shares of our common stock at the price of $0.10 per share. On October 1, 2016, we issued 100,000 shares to 5 individuals for share-based compensation, valued by our sole director at $0.10 per share, for compensation of $50,000 for services rendered to us by them. Presently, we estimate our monthly burn rate is approximately $30,000 per month, which consists of general and administrative expenses, consulting fees, professional fees, property taxes, rent, repairs and maintenance, transfer agent and filings fees and utilities. We believe that our revenues will cover our burn rate over the next 12 months.

Our principal business, executive and registered statutory office is located at 205 South Beverly Drive, Suite 205, Beverly Hills, CA 90212 and our telephone number is (310) 308-7887 and email contact is info@hubilu.com. Our URL address is www.hubilu.com.

Business

We were formed as a real estate consulting and acquisition firm that commenced operations in March 5, 2015, and, until June 2015, was limited to organizational and business development activities. In June 2015, we entered into our first consulting agreement with a client. As a real estate advisory and consulting company, we assist real estate investor professionals, as well as established companies, with advisory and consulting services focused on providing research, analysis and acquisition opportunities to them. Our mission is to assist investors and professionals in the early stage analysis of market opportunities and the evaluation of properties prior to them committing capital for the purchase or the leasing of real estate properties. We are not real estate brokers and do not intend to offer brokerage services.

Commencing in June 2015, we engaged our first client, 112 South Eucalyptus Avenue, LLC, to assist it in evaluating the best use of its property.

Real Estate Acquisitions

On August 18, 2016, we launched a real estate acquisition division to acquire real estate for our company.

In 2017, we acquired 2 rental properties.

On September 15, 2017, we hired Earn By SEO, which specializes in Search Engine Optimization and Social Media Optimization, to enhance our Hubilu.com website to drive traffic and expand our investor and social media presence. This company also assisted us with launching our student housing rental site, Hubiluhousing.com, which went live on March 16, 2018. This was a needed adjunct to assist with our aggressive marketing of rentals and also allow our students ease to locate and sign rental contracts, which is all online now.

On January 4, 2018, we started to accept Crypto currency as a form of rental payment for our properties.

On March 7, 2018, we contracted with Pacific Green Homes to install solar technology on our property located at 3711 S. Western Ave in Los Angeles. The solar panels were installed and became operational on May 26, 2018. This has reduced our electric operating costs, resulting in greater returns for our investors.

Real Estate Consulting:

Market Opportunity

We believe the real estate consulting and advisory industries are sectors of the U.S. economy, which have seen increased activity since interest rates are at their current higher levels, requiring investors to be selective in their decisions, creating potential for a public company focused on evaluating real estate opportunities. We continue to focus on residential rental real estate and development.

Historically, the U.S. real estate industry has tended to be cyclical. The real estate market experienced a significant downturn from the 2007 peak to a trough in 2009, representing the most severe downturn in property sales since at least 1990. Since 2009, real estate sales for transactions of $1 million and above have increased by 97% and dollar volume has increased by 235%. The Los Angeles housing market forecast for the 3 years ending in 2025 is positive according to CAR.com which estimates that the rising housing market prices in Los Angeles is 6 % annually during this period. If the Housing Market forecast is correct, home values will be higher at the end of 2025 than at the end of 2023. This upturn has been, and we believe will continue to be, primarily driven by low inventory, and Los Angeles ongoing as a place to live.

Availability, Rent Pricing and Cost of Financing. The availability and cost of debt financing is challenging but creates opportunities to acquire assets at reasonable prices. Rental prices continue to rise matching inflation at minimum and this allows for stronger returns, even with higher interest rates.

We believe this is an underserved market segment and intend to offer our consulting services to private clients. Competition will come from brokerage firms, consulting departments of accounting and consulting firms and other real estate advisory firms.

Our Business Strategy – Consulting

We will provide a variety of services to client companies, including the following:

We believe that the services we offer to our future clients will be quality, value added services that will enable long term success for them and us.

We intend to derive income from our clients for the performance of these services. We also intend to acquire and operate additional residential rental properties and derive income from management fees and operating income.

Financing Strategy

Our ability to increase our revenues and market our services will be dependent on additional outside financing, and reinvesting our profits. Primary responsibility for the overall planning and management of our services will rest with our management. For each service, we plan to offer, management will need to assess the market and our needs to offer such consulting or advisory services at cost-effective prices to real estate investors and users. All decisions will be subject to budgetary restrictions and our business control. We cannot provide any guarantee that we will be able to ever offer services on cost-effect terms.

Competition

The real estate student housing acquisition and rental industry is highly competitive. We compete with a variety of individuals and companies, many of which have greater financial and other resources than us or are subsidiaries or divisions of larger organizations. In particular, the industry is characterized by a few large, dominant organizations performing this service.

Competition for our corporate rentals comes mainly from individual homeowners and small investors who acquire houses like us, with the intention of upgrading them and renting them to these corporate tenants.

The major competitive factors in our business are our ability to compete effectively in providing students and corporations, quality housing at an affordable price, maintaining properties in excellent condition and obtaining market rents from tenants. We believe we compete effectively in these areas.

Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, managerial, marketing and other resources than we do, and they may compete more effectively than we can. If our competitors offer services at lower prices than we do, we may have to lower the prices we charge, which will adversely affect our results of operations. Furthermore, many of our competitors can obtain more experienced employees than we can.

Real Estate Acquisitions/ Business Acquisitions:

Market Opportunity

We acquire student housing properties that are adjacent to the USC campus and other high-end universities which offer recession proof stability and top of the market value on rents.

Off Campus Student Housing began in the mid 1990’s as an infancy industry with high growth potential, with many real estate investors capitalizing on the premium rents and lack of housing on university campuses.

Why Student Housing is Growing:

USC Students are using the four Metro Stations in walking distance of USC Campus to access Downtown Los Angeles, including Staples Center, LA Live, Nightlife Clubs and Bars, Entertainment Centers, Shopping Opportunities.

Average monthly rents of a unit in the USC area rose from approximately $750 in 2005 to $1,900 in 2023 and student enrollment at USC has grown from 32,000 in 2005 to 49,500 in 2022-23, with 28,500 being graduate students.

There are also opportunities to develop multi-family properties within walking distance of the newly constructed Los Angeles Metro/subway stations, taking advantage of upside density, zoning changes, and higher rents.

In addition to investing in real estate, we intend to diversify our investment portfolio and expand our revenue sources to include the acquisitions of profitable high growth businesses to increase our cash flow, including Property Management, CleanTech (Green), Healthcare, Intelligent Technology/Cloud, and e-Commerce (B2B, B2C).

Our Business Strategy

Financing Strategy

Our ability to increase our revenues, net profit and cash flow will be dependent on our ability to acquire more properties, additional bank and outside financing, advances from our majority shareholder and reinvesting our profits. Primary responsibility for the overall planning and management of our services will rest with our management. For each acquisition, management will need to assess the market and the ability to make a profit from rental income less expenses and cost of capital of the potential acquisitions.

Competition

The real estate student housing acquisition and rental industry is highly competitive. We compete with a variety of individuals and companies, many of which have greater financial and other resources than us or are subsidiaries or divisions of larger organizations. In particular, the industry is characterized by a small number of large, dominant organizations that perform this service.

Competition for our corporate rentals comes mainly from individual homeowners and small investors who acquire houses, similar to us, with the intention of upgrading them and renting them to these corporate tenants.

The major competitive factors in our business are our ability to compete effectively in providing students, quality housing at an affordable price, maintaining properties in excellent condition and obtaining market rents from tenants. We believe we will compete effectively in these areas.

Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, managerial, marketing and other resources than we do, and if our competitors offer services at lower rental prices, we may have to lower the prices we charge, which will adversely affect our results of operations. But the demand for single family residential tenancy is high and we believe prices for house rentals will continue to increase.

Intellectual Property Rights

We do not currently have any intellectual property rights.

Our Website

Our website is located at www.hubilu.com and it provides a description of our company, our services, our mission statement, along with our contact information including our address, telephone number and e-mail address.

Dependence on Customers

We are pursuing a real estate acquisition strategy as well as seeking new customers.

Trademarks and Patents

We do not have any registered trademarks or patents.

Need for any Government Approval of Principal Services

We are also subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations generally applied to businesses, such as payroll taxes on the state and federal levels. Sales of the services we intend to provide to customers may be subject to U.S. and local government regulations.

Research and Development

We have not spent any money on research and development activities.

Employees

Presently, we do not have any employees other than our directors who devote their time as needed to our business and expect to devote 40 hours per week.

Summary

We have and continue to provide consulting services for several clients and are now seeking real estate acquisitions to complement our 24 existing properties. We anticipate that our revenues will increase as we secure additional clients and acquire properties in the next twelve months.

The closing of these contemplated transactions is subject to due diligence clear title. We believe that our revenues will cover our operating costs over the next 12 months; however, our majority shareholder has agreed to advance us necessary working capital, if necessary. We currently have directors. These individuals allocate time and personal resources to us and devote approximately 40 hours each, per week to us.

As of the date of this Report, we have 26,237,125 shares of $0.001 par value common stock issued and outstanding, which is owned by 57 shareholders. We have 520,400 shares of our Series 1 convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2023, which is held by 9 shareholders. The aggregate market value of our common stock based on the most recent price quoted on the OTC Markets of $0.06 per share is $1,574,228. Our accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2023 is $2,120,903.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are subject to those financial risks generally associated with startup enterprises. Since we have sustained losses since Date of Incorporation, we will require financing to fund our development activities and to support our operations and will independently seek additional financing. However, we may be unable to obtain such financing. We are also subject to risk factors specific to our business strategy and the entertainment industry.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY AND INDUSTRY

Since we are a real estate consulting and acquisitions company, we have just begun to generate revenues and lack an established operating history, an investment in the shares offered herein is highly risky and could result in a complete loss of your investment if we are unsuccessful in our business plans.

Although we have revenues from the rental properties owned by our subsidiaries, we have an accumulated deficit of $2,120,903. Such prospects must be considered given the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by new entrants into the real estate consulting industry. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is highly dependent upon several factors, including our ability to secure clients and acquire profitable real estate properties. Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods as we incur expenses associated with our business. Further, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in increasing our revenues or in achieving or sustaining positive cash flow at any time in the future. Any such failure could result in the possible closure of our business or force us to seek additional capital through loans or additional sales of our equity securities to continue business operations, which would dilute the value of any shares you purchase in this offering.

As a public company, we must comply with numerous financial reporting and legal requirements, including those pertaining to audits and internal control. The costs of this compliance could be significant. If our revenues are insufficient, and/or we cannot satisfy many of these costs through the issuance of our shares, we may be unable to satisfy these costs in the normal course of business that would result in our being unable to continue as a going concern.

Our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, disclose that we can continue as a going concern. However, if necessary, our directors may be unable or unwilling to loan or advance us any funds.

Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from our consulting services. We plan to seek additional funds through private placements of our common or preferred stock. Private placements of our common or preferred stock may involve substantial dilution to our existing shareholders. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence.

Our directors have limited experience in the real estate consulting industry, which could prevent us from successfully obtaining clients for the Consulting part of our business plan and impede our ability to earn Consulting revenue.

Our directors have experience in the real estate industry but limited experience in the consulting sector. While our president has been an agent, broker, property manager and principal, he has limited experience in real estate consulting to third parties. Our management’s lack of experience could hinder their ability to successfully consult on real estate projects that will result in clients retaining our services. It is likely that our management’s inexperience with real estate consulting will hinder our ability to earn revenue. Each potential investor must carefully consider the lack of experience of our officers and directors before purchasing our common stock.

Our directors have limited experience in operating a public company, which could prevent us from successfully implementing our business plan and impede our ability to earn revenue.

Our directors have limited experience in operating a public company. While they have experience in operating companies, their limited experience in operating a public company could hinder their ability to successfully comply with the reporting and other requirements imposed on public companies. It is likely that our management’s limited experience with operating a public company will hinder our ability to earn revenue and comply with various reporting requirements. Each potential investor must carefully consider the lack of experience of our officer and director before purchasing our common stock.

Key management personnel may leave us, which could adversely affect our ability to continue operations.

We are entirely dependent on the efforts of David Behrend, our president, chief executive officer as well as our second director. The loss of our directors, or of other key personnel hired in the future, could have a material adverse effect on the business and its prospects. There is currently no employment contract by and between any director and us.

Also there is no guarantee that replacement personnel, if any, will help us to operate profitably. They have been and continue to expect to be able to commit approximately 40 hours per week of their time to the development of our business plan in the next six months. If management is required to spend additional time on other employment, they may not have sufficient time to devote to us and we would be unable to develop our business plan resulting in the business failure.

If we are unable to obtain additional funding our business operation will be harmed, and if we do obtain additional funding, our then existing shareholders may suffer substantial dilution.

We have limited financial resources. As of December 31, 2023, we had $24,564 of cash on hand and total assets of $16,835,820. If we are unable to develop our business or secure additional funds our business would fail, and our shares may be worthless. We may seek to obtain debt financing as well. There is no assurance that we will not incur debt in the future, that we will have sufficient funds to repay any indebtedness, or that we will not default on our debt obligations, jeopardizing our business viability. Furthermore, we may not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet our needs, or to otherwise provide the capital necessary to conduct our business. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our business plans and possibly cease our operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.

In the future, we may seek additional financing through the sale of our common or preferred stock resulting in dilution to existing shareholders.

The most likely source of future financing presently available to us is through the sale of shares of our common or preferred stock. Any sale of common or preferred stock will result in dilution of equity ownership to existing shareholders. This means that, if we sell shares of our common or preferred stock, more shares will be outstanding and each existing shareholder will own a smaller percentage of the shares then outstanding, which will result in a reduction in the value of an existing shareholder’s interest. To raise additional capital, we may have to issue additional shares, which may substantially dilute the interests of existing shareholders. Alternatively, we may have to borrow large sums, and assume debt obligations that require us to make substantial interest and capital payments.

We cannot guarantee we will be successful in generating revenue in the future or be successful in raising funds through the sale of shares to pay for our business plan and expenditures. Failure to generate additional revenue may cause us to go out of business, which may result in the complete loss of your investment.

Competition in the real estate consulting industry is strong.

The marketplace in which we compete is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. Our competitors include well-established enterprises. Some of these competitors are based globally. We anticipate that we will face additional competition from new entrants that may offer significant performance, price, creative or other advantages over those offered by us. Many of these competitors have greater name recognition and resources than us.

Additionally, potential competitors with established market shares and greater financial resources may introduce competing projects. Thus, there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the future or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on our operations. Increased competition could result in lower than expected operating margins or loss of the ability to engage distributors of their productions, either of which would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial condition.

We operate in a regulated industry and changes in regulations or violations of regulations may result in increased costs or sanctions that could reduce our revenues and profitability.

The real estate consulting industry is subject to extensive and complex federal and state laws and regulations related to safety, conduct of operations, and payment for services. If we fail to comply with the laws and regulations that are directly applicable to our business, we could suffer civil and/or criminal penalties or be subject to injunctions and delays in production schedules orders.

Federal and state governments may regulate certain aspects of the real estate industry. Our ability to cost effectively market our services as they related to real estate projects could be affected by such regulations. The implementation of unfavorable regulations or unfavorable interpretations of existing regulations by courts or regulatory bodies could require us to incur significant compliance costs, cause the development of the affected markets to become impractical and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our directors are required to commit time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities. During other business activities, they may become aware of business opportunities that may be appropriate for presentation to us, as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. As such, there may be conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a business opportunity should be presented.

To resolve such potential conflicts of interest, our directors have agreed that any opportunities that they are aware of independently or directly through their association with us (as opposed to disclosure to them of such business opportunities by management or consultants associated with other entities) would be presented by them solely to us.

We cannot provide assurances that our efforts to eliminate the potential impact of conflicts of interest will be effective.

Since the effective date of our registration statement, we are required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To comply with these requirements, our independent registered public accounting firm must review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel should review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted now because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined now and will have a major effect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit. We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from any new requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

Our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

We have two directors. We have not established board committees comprised of independent members to oversee functions like compensation or audit issues. We do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors. Our directors performs these functions.

Until we have a larger board of directors that would include some independent members, if ever, there will be limited oversight of our directors’ decisions and activities and little ability for minority shareholders to challenge or reverse those activities and decisions, even if they are not in the best interests of minority shareholders.

If our real estate property prices and rents begin to fall, or we do not generate revenues from tenant rentals to cover our property expenses, our business would fail.

Real estate projects involve substantial risks, because it requires that we spend significant funds based entirely on our preliminary evaluation of rental income from potential tenants. It is impossible to predict the success of any project. The ability of a real estate project to be commercially successful can depend upon a variety of unpredictable factors, including:

We will rely upon consultants for web-further enhancement and maintenance of our website and the consultant may not maintain it in a manner that is necessary to promote and recruit personnel and potential clients effectively.

We have developed a website that will help us attract personnel and clients. It is a basic website to located at www.hubilu.com. We intend to use the website as a promotional and recruiting tool for potential clients as well as a tool for soliciting projects to consult on with real estate owners. We intend to constantly monitor and make improvements to our website. If we do not further develop our website, we may not be able to adequately access clients or projects to develop consulting revenues.

RISKS RELATED TO THE OWNERSHIP OF OUR SECURITIES

Investors may lose their entire investment if we fail to implement our business plan.

As a real estate consulting and acquisition company that commenced operations in June 2015, and we expect to face substantial risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties. We were formed on March 2, 2015. We have a limited demonstrable operations record, on which you can evaluate our business and prospects. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10K, our operations have been devoted to implementing our business plan, acquiring 24 properties, and looking for investment opportunities whereby we can acquire real property and operate it. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in accomplishing our objectives. In addition, our lack of operating capital could negatively impact the value of our common shares and could result in the loss of your entire investment.

Participation is subject to risks of investing in micro capitalization companies.

Micro capitalization companies generally have limited product lines, markets, market shares and financial resources. The securities of such companies, if traded in the public market, may trade less frequently and in more limited volume than those of more established companies. Additionally, in recent years, the stock market has experienced a high degree of price and volume volatility for the securities of micro capitalization companies. Micro capitalization companies that trade in the over-the-counter markets have experienced wide price fluctuations not necessarily related to the operating performance of such companies.

There has not been any established trading market for our common stock, and there is currently a limited public market for our securities. Our shares are quoted on the OTC Pink. There can be no assurances as to whether:

In addition, our common stock is unlikely to be followed by any market analysts, and there may be few institutions acting as market makers for our common stock. Either of these factors could adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of our common stock. Until our common stock is fully distributed and an orderly market develops in our common stock, if ever, the price at which it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly. Prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock, developments affecting our business, including the impact of the factors referred to elsewhere in these Risk Factors, investor perception of us and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common stock.

Because of the anticipated low price of the securities being registered, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in these securities. Purchasers of our securities should be aware that any market that develops in our stock would be subject to the penny stock restrictions.

The trading of our securities will be in the over-the-counter market, which is commonly referred to as the OTC Markets. Thus, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our securities.

Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $4.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $4.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions that are not available to us. It is likely that our shares will be a penny stock for the immediately foreseeable future. This classification severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. To approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to evaluate the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth:

Disclosure also must be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Additionally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares probably will be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.

Our management believes that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

There is currently a limited public market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that any established public market would develop in the foreseeable future. Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities or securities regulations laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as “Blue Sky” laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue-sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. These restrictions prohibit the secondary trading of our common stock. We currently do not intend to and may not be able to qualify securities for resale in at least 17 states which do not offer manual exemptions (or may offer manual exemptions) and require shares to be qualified before they can be resold by our shareholders. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for our securities to be a limited one.

Because insiders control our activities, they may cause us to act in a manner that is most beneficial to them and not to outside shareholders, which could cause us not to take actions that outside investors might view favorably, and which could prevent or delay a change in control.

David Behrend, our chairman, chief executive officer and president, controls Jacaranda3 Investments, Inc., which owns 25,000,000 common shares representing 95% of the outstanding common stock. Jacaranda3 Investments, Inc., purchased the common stock from Jacaranda Investments, Inc. on January 3, 2021. Thus, it effectively controls all matters requiring director and stockholder approval, including the election of directors, the approval of significant corporate transactions, such as mergers and related party transactions. This insider also can delay or perhaps even block, by its ownership of our stock, an unsolicited tender offer. This concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company that you might view favorably.

Our directors have authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued common shares. Such issuances may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management and the interests of existing management which may not be the same as the interests of other shareholders. Our ability to issue shares without shareholder approval serves to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of us.

Our Certificate of Incorporation at Article Ten provides for indemnification as follows: “No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such director as a director. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a director shall be liable to the extent provided by applicable law, (i) for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No amendment to or repeal of this Article Tenth shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment.”

We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with our activities, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, either of which factors is likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares, if such a market ever develops.

Except for the 235,000 shares that were registered pursuant to our registration statement, 359,500 shares that had the restrictive legend removed under Rule 144 and 254,265 shares held by Jacaranda3 Investments, Inc., that had the restrictive legend removed under Rule 144, the remaining outstanding shares of common stock (25,103,360 shares are “restricted securities” as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available. Rule 144 provides that a person who is not an affiliate and has held restricted securities for a prescribed period of at least six (6) months if purchased from a reporting issuer or twelve (12) months if purchased from a non-reporting Company, may, under certain conditions, sell all or any of his shares without volume limitation, in brokerage transactions. Affiliates, however, may not sell shares more than 1% of the Company’s outstanding common stock every three months. Because of revisions to Rule 144 which became effective on February 15, 2008, there is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate (i.e., a stockholder who has not been an officer, director or control person for at least 90 consecutive days) after the restricted securities have been held by the owner for the prescribed period. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in any market that may develop.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. The future payment of dividends directly depends upon our future earnings, capital requirements, financial requirements and other factors that our sole director will consider. Since we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock, return on your investment, if any, will depend solely on an increase, if any, in the market value of our common stock. We pay a 5% dividend on our Series 1 convertible preferred stock, which is paid in kind.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the Nasdaq Stock Market, because of Sarbanes-Oxley, requires the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities that are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than legally required, we have not yet adopted these measures.

Because our sole director is not an independent director, we do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. Thus, this sole director has the ability, among other things, to determine his own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.

We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required. However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management because of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it costlier or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.

You may have limited access to information regarding our business because our obligations to file periodic reports with the SEC could be automatically suspended under certain circumstances.

As of the effective date of our registration statement, October 27, 2015, we became subject to certain informational requirements of the Exchange Act, as amended and we are required to file periodic reports (i.e., annual, quarterly and special reports) with the SEC which will be immediately available to the public for inspection and copying. Except during the year that our registration statement becomes effective, these reporting obligations may (in our sole discretion) be automatically suspended under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if we have less than 300 shareholders and do not file a registration statement on Form 8A. We filed a Form 8A. However, we will not be required to furnish proxy statements to security holders and our director, officers and principal beneficial owners will not be required to report their beneficial ownership of securities to the SEC pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act until we have both 500 or more security holders and greater than $10 million in assets. This means that your access to information regarding our business will be limited.

We will incur ongoing costs and expenses for SEC reporting and compliance; without revenue, we may not be able to remain in compliance, making it difficult for investors to sell their shares, if at all.

To be eligible for quotation on the OTC Markets, we must remain current in our filings with the SEC. Market makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTC Markets that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time. For us to remain in compliance we will require future revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to remain in compliance it may be difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.

For all the foregoing reasons and others set forth herein, an investment in our securities in any market that may develop in the future involves a high degree of risk.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Risk Management and Strategy

We periodically assess risks from cybersecurity threats, and monitor our information systems for potential vulnerabilities. However, to date, given the small size of our company and the nature of our operations, our reliance on information systems has been limited to the use of standard off-the-shelf software (such as Google, QuickBooks and Microsoft Office) and the use by our employees of standard personal computers. Accordingly, management has not implemented any formal process for assessing, identifying, and managing risks from cybersecurity threats.

Risks from cybersecurity threats have, to date, not materially affected us, our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. We discuss how cybersecurity incidents could materially affect us in our risk factor disclosures in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Governance

As discussed above, given the nature of our current operations and our experience to date, we do not currently perceive cybersecurity as a particularly significant risk to our business. Accordingly, we have not tasked our Director with any additional cybersecurity oversight duties, or designated any committee of the Board of Directors to specifically oversee cybersecurity risks to our business.

From April 2015 to February 2016, our executive, administrative and operating offices were located at 9777 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 804, Beverly Hills, CA 90212. We did not have a written lease with the landlord and an unrelated third party provided us with space, on a month-to-month basis, for no cost. On March 4, 2016, we executed a written lease for 750 square feet of space for $2,200 per month. Jacaranda Investments, Inc., advanced us the first month prorated rent of $1,703 and $6,600 for the landlord’s security deposit. Our current lease, which changed on June 1, 2020, is now 375 square feet of space on a month-to-month basis and is $1,395 per month.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are not involved in any legal proceedings nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us. None of our officers or director is a party to any legal proceeding or litigation. None of our officers or director has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor relating to securities or performance in corporate office.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol “HBUV.” For the periods indicated, the following table sets forth the high and low bid prices per share of common stock. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

We have 520,400 shares of our Series 1 convertible preferred stock that is convertible into shares of our common stock. The conversion provisions are discussed in our footnotes to our financial statements. In general, under Rule 144, a holder of restricted common shares who is an affiliate at the time of the sale or any time during the three months preceding the sale can resell shares, subject to the restrictions described below.

If we have been a public reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least 90 days immediately before the sale, then at least six months must have elapsed since the shares were acquired from us or one of our affiliates, and we must remain current in our filings for an additional period of six months; in all other cases, at least one year must have elapsed since the shares were acquired from us or one of our affiliates.

The number of shares sold by such person within any three-month period cannot exceed the greater of:

Conditions relating to the manner of sale, notice requirements (filing of Form 144 with the SEC) and the availability of public information about us must also be satisfied.

A total of 26,237,125 of the presently outstanding shares of our common stock are “restricted securities” as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available. The SEC has adopted final rules amending Rule 144, which have become effective on February 15, 2008. Pursuant to the new Rule 144, one year must elapse from the time a “shell company,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, ceases to be a “shell company” and files a Form 8-K addressing Item 5.06 with such information as may be required in a Form 10 registration statement with the SEC, before a restricted shareholder can resell their holdings in reliance on Rule 144. Form 10 information is equivalent to information that a company would be required to file if it were registering a class of securities on Form 10 under the Exchange Act. Under the amended Rule 144, restricted or unrestricted securities that were initially issued by a reporting or non-reporting shell company or a company that was at any time previously a reporting or non-reporting shell company can only be resold in reliance on Rule 144 if the following conditions are met:

We do not believe we are classified as a “shell company” under Rule 405 of the Securities Act Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

Current Public Information

In general, for sales by affiliates and non-affiliates, the satisfaction of the current public information requirement depends on whether we are a public reporting company under the Exchange Act:

However, no assurance can be given as to:

No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of shares or the availability of shares for future sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of our common shares, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the common shares.

Common Stock Currently Outstanding

As of December 31, 2023, we have 26,237,125 shares of our common stock outstanding.

Series 1 Preferred Stock Currently Outstanding

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we have 520,400 shares of our Series 1 convertible preferred stock outstanding.

Holders

As of the date of this Report, we had 57 stockholders of record of our common stock and 9 stockholders of record on our Series 1 convertible preferred stock.

Dividends

We have not declared any cash dividends on our common stock since our Date of Incorporation and do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain future earnings, if any, for use in our business. Any decisions as to future payments of dividends will depend on our earnings and financial position and such other facts, as our Director deems relevant.

The holders of our Series 1 convertible preferred stock are entitled to a 5% paid-in-kind dividend on their shares.

Transfer Agent

Globex Stock Transfer, LLC, is our independent stock transfer agent.

None.

The Preferred Stock has the following rights and privileges:

Voting – The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock could be converted.

Change – Each share of Preferred Stock, is convertible at the option of the holder, into shares of common stock, at the lesser of $0.50 per share or a ten percent (10%) discount to the average closing bid price of the common stock 5 days prior to the notice of conversion. The Preferred Stock is also subject to certain adjustments for dilution, if any, resulting from future stock issuances, including for any subsequent issuance of common stock at a price per share less than that paid by the holders of the Preferred Stock.

Dividends – The holders of the Preferred Stock in preference to the holders of common stock, are entitled to receive, if and when declared by the Board of Directors, dividends at the rate of $0.05 per share per annum, in kind, which shall accrue quarterly. Such dividends are cumulative. No such dividends have been declared to date. In addition, the holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a dividend, in kind equal, to any dividend paid on common stock, when and if declared by the board, on the basis of the number of common shares into which a share of Preferred Stock may be convertible.

Liquidation – In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or sale or merger of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, each holder of Preferred Stock is entitled to receive, in preference to the holders of common stock, a per-share amount equal to the original issue price of $1.00 (as adjusted, as defined), plus all declared but unpaid dividends.

The Preferred Stock matured on September 30, 2019. We extended the conversion date to September 30, 2029.

Results of Operations

General

We are a startup enterprise that commenced operations on March 5, 2015, which, until June 2015, has been limited to organizational and business development activities. We are real estate advisory and consulting company that assists real estate investor professionals, as well as established companies, with advisory and consulting services focused on providing research, analysis and acquisition opportunities to them. Our mission is to assist investors and professionals in the early stage analysis of market opportunities and the evaluation of properties prior to them committing capital for the purchase or the leasing of real estate properties. We intend to focus our initial marketing efforts in the commercial markets; however, we will also look at residential and income producing markets. We intend to use the Internet as well as the services of independent sales consultants to market our services to investors and professionals in Southern California with our initial efforts focused in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. We have had limited operations and have limited financial resources. Our auditors indicated in their report on our financial statements (the “Report”) that “the Company’s lack of business operations and early losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.” Our operations from March 2, 2015 (Date of Incorporation) to December 2023 were devoted primarily to development, operational activities, and acquisitions which included:

We intend to provide services to target investors and professionals with the mission to assist them in investment and property evaluation strategies and provide hands-on support to reduce evaluation time and resources and increase the speed for them to determine whether to proceed with a real estate lease or investment. Besides general property evaluation services, we intend to offer services to assist the principals with property development ideas and investment structure.

Our goal is to assist investors by providing them with the property opportunities, analysis and guidance to enhance their ability to purchase or lease real estate. We are not real estate brokers and do not intend to offer brokerage services. We intend to initially target businesses in Southern California.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. In addition, these accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively together with notes thereto, which are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022

Revenues. Our rental revenues increased to $1,885,985 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $1,579,682 for the comparable period in 2022, an increase of $306,303, or 19%. The increase was due to a change in City of Los Angeles rent control laws which allowed a stronger rental collection.

Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased to $1,142,038 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $752,503 for the comparable period in 2022, an increase of $389,535, or 52%. Operating expenses are comprised of general and administrative expenses, consulting fees, depreciation, professional fees, property taxes, rent, repairs and maintenance, transfer agent and filing fees and utilities. The components of operating expenses are discussed below. Operating increased primarily due to increased repairs and maintenance on properties in the current year.

Salaries and benefits decreased to $69,100 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $79,175 for the comparable period in 2022, a decrease of $10,075, or 13%. Salaries and benefits decreased due to reduced time spent on activities by our vice president who is our only compensated employee.

Utilities decreased $18,733 to $47,624 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $66,357 for the comparable period in 2022.

Professional fees consisted of legal fees and accounting fees, which increased primarily due to increased legal fees incurred during the current year.

Property taxes decreased to $191,018 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $198,038 for the comparable period in 2022, a decrease of $7,020, or 4%. Property taxes decreased primarily due to less supplemental taxes.

Depreciation decreased to $197,759 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $208,611 for the comparable period in 2022, a decrease of $10,852, or 5%. Depreciation decreased primarily due to some of our assets reaching the end of their depreciable useful lives.

Net Loss. Our net loss increased to $275,332 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $146,705 for the comparable period in 2022, an increase of $128,627, or 88%. Our net loss increased primarily due to increased repairs and maintenance on properties and increased interest expense incurred in the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Since 2015, Jacaranda Investments, Inc., provided us with $492,500 in related party advances. We have not been advanced any more money since 2018. Jacaranda Investments, Inc. has agreed not to seek repayment of its advances until we are financially able to repay them. In 2021, $18,229 was repaid to Jacaranda Investments, Inc. leaving the balance at $474,271.

Our total assets are $16,835,820 as of December 31, 2023, consisting of $11,800,304 in real estate, building and capital improvements of $5,458,695, $296,463 in property acquisition and financing, net of $762,406 in depreciation, $24,564 in cash and $6,600 in security deposits.

Our total liabilities are $18,018,592 and $18,087,019 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Our total stockholders’ deficit is $1,182,772, including an accumulated deficit of $2,120,903, for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Our net cash provided by operations was $110,233 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

We had no investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023.

We had $177,737 in cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2023, we had negative working capital of $1,757,690. We have incurred net losses since our inception and we anticipate net losses and negative operating cash flows for the near future, and we may not be profitable or realize growth in the value of our assets. To date, our primary sources of capital have been cash generated from rental income, common stock sales, and debt financing. As of December 31, 2023, we had cash of $24,564, total liabilities of $18,018,592, and an accumulated deficit of $2,120,903. As of December 31, 2022, we had cash of $92,068, total liabilities of $18,087,019, and an accumulated deficit of $1,845,571.

Satisfaction of our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months

We do not now have funds sufficient for pursuing our plan of operation, but we are in the process of trying to increase rents to finance our operations through rental cash flow. If operating difficulties or other factors (many of which are beyond our control) delay our realization of revenues or cash flows from rental income, we may be limited in our ability to pursue our business plan. Moreover, if unexpected expenses arise due to unanticipated pressures or if we decide to expand our business plan beyond its currently anticipated level or otherwise, we will require additional financing to fund our operations, in addition to anticipated cash generated from our operations. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. In a worst-case scenario, we might not be able to fund our operations or to remain in business, which could result in a total loss of our stockholders’ investment. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, and these newly issued securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders.

The Company had no formal long-term lines or credit or other bank financing arrangements as of December 31, 2023 or 2022.

The Company has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.

The Company has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.

Affiliate

Our CEO was, prior to 2018, an officer of Belladona Lily Investments, Inc. Belladonna’s association with Hubilu is, and always has been, solely as a lender.

Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of rental income. Sales to one customer accounted for 63% of consolidated sales for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

The Company has a prospective income tax benefit resulting from a net operating loss carry forward that may offset any future operating profit.

Impact of Inflation

The Company believes that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past quarter.

Plan of Operation

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 2, 2015. We have never declared bankruptcy, have never been in receivership, and have never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. Since incorporation, we have not made any significant purchase or sale of assets. We are a real estate consulting and acquisition company that has just begun to generate revenues through our real estate acquisitions. If we are unable to successfully continue to find customers who will engage us to provide real estate consulting services or in acquiring cash flow positive properties, we will be dependent on related party advances or the sale of securities for our working capital.

Our business strategy is to market our website (www.hubilu.com) whereby potential real estate users and investors will be able to review our consulting services and engage us. We will develop our presence on various e-commerce sites focused on the real estate, consulting and advisory industries as well as on mainstream sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. We are also focusing on expanding our referral network by targeting other advisors such as lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, financial planners and other service professionals.

The number of companies which we will be able to provide services to will depend upon the success of our marketing efforts through our website and our referral network.

Our business is advising and consulting with real estate users and investors by providing consulting services to support to their leasing or acquisition strategies. We intend to advise them on their capital formation, consulting with jurisdictional issues, property taxes, zoning, corporate structure, administrative functions, such as bookkeeping, accounting, regulatory compliance and reporting, valuation and other administrative tasks that real estate users and investors may not be familiar with or desire to operate internally.

We intend to work collaboratively with real estate users and investors, as well as their existing advisors, to assist them in the proper structure around proposed leases, development or acquisitions. We believe that by providing guidance and support to our potential clients and assisting them in structuring their leases, developments or acquisitions we believe we will enable them to achieve increased returns. We intend to partner and work with professional and technical advisors that have knowledge and expertise in real estate investors. To the extent that our potential clients request our assistance in seeking capital or accessing the capital markets, we intend to introduce them to the appropriate advisors who have the requisite expertise in the various areas that may require such expertise.

Our founder has access to strategic relationships with real estate investors, financial firms, investment bankers, brokers, individual and institutional investors as well as accountants and attorneys. Our founder has invested his capital in the real estate markets and has experience with real estate investing and management. We believe that a properly structured real estate transaction eases the ability to attract the equity capital from investors thereby allowing the necessary capital to develop or acquire the properties.

Our business is focused on acquiring vacant residential income properties that we rehabilitate and rent at student housing market values while simultaneously consulting and advising with real estate investors, professionals, and companies, We believe that this model of student housing acquisitions and consulting with investors will generate positive cash flow in growing the company, which will increase the evaluation of our stock, creating value for our investors and also obtaining client loyalty. The following are key elements of our strategy:

Acquisition process has a strategic methodology when acquiring and calculating cost in not only purchasing but in rehab and the value in renting out to students near the USC campus and expanding LA Metro/subway stations. This allows favorable returns.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, which requires lessors to classify leases as a sales-type, direct financing, or operating lease and requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019 and elected the effective date method for the transition. The Company elected the following practical expedients:

Lessor Accounting

The accounting for lessors under the new standard remained relatively unchanged with a few targeted updates impacting the Company, which included: (i) narrower definition of initial direct costs that requires certain costs to be expensed rather than capitalized, and (ii) provisions for uncollectible rents to be recorded as a reduction in revenue rather than as bad debt expense.

Lessee Accounting

The new standard requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating at inception, with classification affecting the pattern and recording of expenses in the statement of operations. There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements on the adoption of Topic 842 given that its office lease does not exceed 12 months in duration.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this item.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

HUBILU VENTURE CORPORATION

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Hubilu Venture Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hubilu Venture Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company had a going concern due to a continual net loss, stockholders’ deficiency and cash used in operations.

Auditing management’s evaluation of a going concern can be a significant judgment given the fact that the Company uses management estimates on future revenues and expenses which are not able to be substantiated.

To evaluate the appropriateness of the going concern, we examined and evaluate the financial information that was the initial cause along with management’s plans to mitigate the going concern and management’s disclosure on going concern.
